Over the past few year or so, PDR Cigars has been releasing a series of limited production cigars made exclusively for Thompson Cigar in Tampa, Fla., all of which use the word dark in the name. In December 2014, the Pinar Del Rio Dark Harvest 2012 San Andrés was released, followed in September 2015 by the Dark Harvest CT, which swapped the San Andrés maduro wrapper for an Ecuadorian Connecticut. In January, the pair announced the third installment in the series, the PDR Dark Harvest Exclusive Toro Reserve Habano 2013, which uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a mixture of Nicaraguan fillers from Condega and Pennsylvania broadleaf. Just like the first two releases, the Habano comes in a 6 x 52 toro vitola and will be an ongoing production release though limited in terms of production at any one time. It also shares the same price: $8.75 for a single stick or a ten-count box for $49.95.
